Things may indeed be changing for good, at least for now. If you google "Obama Change", you see thousands of articles where Americans who live and work abroad are no longer living in "hidding", they're not saying they are Canadians anymore. For once in eight years, we actually saw people take to the streets in Beirut, Paris, Buenos Aires and not burn the American flag but embrace it.
I wonder though, is there a price to pay for being too nice? During the elections, Obama has been attacked constantly for his "too soft" stand on some foreign policy issues. I guess we won't know that untill he actually takes charge but we should not give in on our interest just to please people world wide. It's getting more and more competitive in the world today, and with the rise of Eastern Superpowers, China, India, and Russia, and especially Russia who is invading sovereign countires and dividing them on ethnic lines, Obama is going to have to be very carefull on how he deals with these issues.
But untill then, thank God for this "change" and Americans finally got an opporunity once again to show their pride of being an American.

Hi, I am happy to see your comments and interest in current events and politics. I am a Libertarian that has been studying, analyzing world politics for several years. I am responding to this particular blog as opposed to others you have written as it is just as easy to do so on this one as to give my assessment and opinion one at a time. It appears that you are a student. You mention two sites that your professor recommends. Let me provide you with a few more.

When you get to the last one let me know. I cannot change the world by myself. I need everyone's help.
Let us begin a move that will lead the world to eternal peace. It can happen. It must happen.
